Hannah Peel delves into the stories and sound worlds of five female electronic pioneers. Tonight, Eliane Radigue: pioneer, mystic, and explorer of new musical consciousness.

Composer Hannah Peel delves into the sounds and stories of five female electronic pioneers, exploring some of her personal musical heroes: women who paved the way for the sort of music she makes today.

In this programme Hannah enters the mesmeric sound world of the French composer Eliane Radigue - who dedicated decades to working on the ARP 2500 synthesiser, who she nicknamed 'Jules' and on it created some of the most slow, oozing captivating music ever heard made and brought in a new wave of electronic deep listening.

Hannah is joined by producer and composer Marta Salogni to explore some of the techniques Radigue used in her work.
